The 99th Divorce

Luo Zhan felt the blow hit its mark. With an expression of indignation, he looked at Su Qianci and yelled, “Sister-in-law! You have been led astray by Second Brother! You didn’t use to be like that!”

Su Qianci smiled at him and replied, “What did I use to be like?”

“In the past, you never took part whenever they bullied me!” Luo Zhan wore a painful expression on his face.

Realization dawned on Su Qianci. She rearranged her expression to one of earnestness and said, “I won’t do it again. Whenever you feel like getting bullied again, let me know. I’ll be here immediately.”

Luo Zhan was rendered speechless.

“What are you playing?” Ou Ming voice wafted over. Behind him were Yu Lili and an unfamiliar lady.

Luo Zhan looked at Ye Qianqian immediately and asked, “Who is this?”

“This is my good friend. Her name is Ye Qianqian,” Yu Lili said. She whispered to him in a hushed tone, “26 and single.”

Luo Zhan understood immediately. Yu Lili is intending to introduce a partner to me?

It wasn’t Ye Qianqian’s first time at such a gathering. But, other than Yu Lili, the only other person she knew was Su Qianci. She began to feel excited when she saw Su Qianci.

Su Qianci was the kind of person who left a deep impression on most people. The woman was indeed formidable.

Su Qianci looked over and met Ye Qianqian’s gaze. She smiled at her and asked, “Would you like to come over and sing something?”

Ye Qianqian almost squealed with delight. She had never expected Su Qianci to be so approachable.

Su Qianci saw that she was eager and extended the microphone over to her, saying, “Come over here, then.”

Ye Qianqian felt her heart beat with frantic enthusiasm as she made her way over and took the microphone from Su Qianci’s hand.

The song was already running midway, and Yu Lili took the initiative to press the replay button.

Ye Qianqian was a microphone hogger; Yu Lili knew that well.

Luo Zhan was a microphone hogger as well; that was a fact known by everyone. He didn’t care with whom he had to sing. He only minded the fact that he had no one to sing this duet with.

Now that someone had turned up, he didn’t make a fuss. After the instrumental introduction was over, he started off, “I gave you a CD from the past…”

Luo Zhan’s voice was very low and possessed a certain magnetism. His pitching was also very accurate. It was almost impossible to tell his voice apart from that of the original track.

Most people who could sing knew a thing or two about voice control. Ye Qianqian was no exception. When she heard his voice, she turned her head to give Luo Zhan a second look.

Oh my god… This man isn’t exceptionally good-looking, but when he opens his mouth to sing, how charming he is!

Ye Qianqian felt her knees go weak. When her turn came, she did herself proud and took over the female part. Her voice was very fine and had a bit of a raspy quality to it. As she sang, goosebumps rose on the skin of her listeners.

This was the first time Luo Zhan had been surprised by the voice of a stranger, and this got him excited. When the song ended, he asked in surprise, “You’re awesome. Did you learn music?”

Ye Qianqian felt a little abashed. “I was in the choir in high school.”

“That’s great! Let’s do another song!” Rarely did Luo Zhan meet someone who could sing. This woman could certainly sing circles around Yu Lili and Su Qianci, not that he would ever voice that sentiment aloud.

Yu Lili looked to the side and whispered secretly into Ou Ming’s ear, “Why don’t we organize a picnic tomorrow.”

Ou Ming’s eyebrows rose. “What are you up to?”

“Just to relax and let loose. Let’s call Qianqian and Luo Zhan along. After all, tomorrow is a weekend.” As she was speaking, she leaned in closer to him and said, “Look, Luo Zhan is already getting on in age. How pitiable.”

“Stop randomly matchmaking!” Although that’s what Ou Ming exclaimed, he did give it a second thought. “I’ll ask Luo Zhan about it later.”
